I do not believe that Oedipus was guilty of the actions that he made. I do not believe that the mom should have committed suicide nor should Oedipus should have stab himself in the eyes liked he did.
It was not Oedipus fault that he killed his father. He did as in self offense. He did not even know that Laius was his father at the time. He also had children by his mother witch was not his fault either. He had know idea on who is parents were. His mother found him and shipped him off when he was just a young boy. He also married his mother to become king of the land.
Even though it is weird that his children are kind of his kids and his brother and sisters. I mean I bet if he would have knew that Laius was his father he would have never killed him. Also if he would have known that his wife was his mother he would have never married his mother nor would he would have had children by her. Nor would he have been king of the land. After all this I do not believed that Oedipus is guilty. If he would of grew up with his parents none of this would have happen.

OK, fair enough. But what about the larger question in the prompt? And where is part II of the assignment?
